Alice, there is nothing cheap about your 1966 "Sovereign of the Road".
It was introduced in 1956, at $4995, and in 1958, it was 5685, by 1966,
I'm sure it was over $7,000.   If it had the "International trim
package", it might have a few more do-dads, and extra trim, but not much
else.  $7,000 plus was a lot of money at that time, and there was a war
going on.  In 1968 in Italy, I bought a Ferrari for $5,000, and that
same car recently sold for over $175,000.    Alice, your coach, is a
good one.     I have seen others with white painted tops.   Sometimes it
is done to seal a segment with a nagging little leak, and sometimes for
the benefit of heat reflection in hot climates.   Some people used a
white special rubberized paint to help seal the top, if they had hail
damage.   You can remove it , or re-do it, your call.
